ALT "Teaching is ultimately an act of hope. Every time I teach a lesson, I hope it will inspire learning. Every time I intervene with a struggling student, I hope it will change the trajectory of their path. The temptation to fall into cynicism is alive and well in education. However, hope is a choice I make every day." —Rachel Jorgensen, Educator

ALT "Lots of kids come to school with invisible backpacks weighted with struggles. Stress, worry, fear, anxiety, trauma, unmet physical needs, loneliness, anger, sadness, and hopelessness can make them so heavy; too heavy for learning to happen. Notice and love them instead." —Bethany Hill

ALT If I’ve gotten better at teaching over the years, it’s not because I’ve learned more about my subject; it’s because I’ve learned more about kids. —Monte Syrie, Teacher
